There's a reason why a lot of grandparents, parents, and people from 80s and 90s who never played a video game in their lives still call any console or system they see: "The Nintendo."

American grandparents certainly? Not mine (Dutch). Nintendo wasn't on my radar until the N64 came out, Atari, C64, MSX, PC, Amiga 500, PS1, N64 is my video game history. Atari is much more a household name than Nintendo with the old folks, and it wouldn't surprise me if the BBC Micro would fill that gap in the UK. Anyway the C64 was far more popular.
